Sweet readers, this one was born of a backyard barbecue conversation. It got unexpectedly (and excitedly) in-depth, and it could help to determine future content of the blog (especially recipes).

Q: What are your top five favorite vegetables, and why?

A: Seems like an easy question, right? But my list took awhile. Eventually I came up with:

Sweet potatoes. The candy of the earth.

Red bell peppers. So versatile, so delicious.

Tomatoes. In any form, any time.

Swiss Chard/Kale. Who knew leafy greens could be so tasty?

Onions. Is there food that exists without them?

Eggplant would have been #6. I don't care for radishes (which is why you almost never see them here), and cauliflower has to be pretty heavily doctored for me to dig in.

And with that, I throw it to you. I wonder what will win? We can even post the results on Friday.
